Crystal reports can easily render into a PDF file on a local disk:

I.aspx
Then, you can use system.web.mail / system.net.mail to send you e-mail.

I have been trying to figure out how to Embed the pdf into my outlook message
with VB. Can you give me a place to look for the answer to that. Thanks in
advance.

Do you mean Embed (as opposed to simply Attached)?
see "Embedding an image into a HTML body " from

Yes, exactly, I want to embed as opposed to attach. I did the steps manually
in Outlook and recorded a macro in VBA. Here is the code that was generated:
Selection.InlineShapes.AddOLEObject ClassType:="AcroExch.Document.7", _
FileName:="M:\Compliance\Reports\irsshort.pdf", LinkToFile:=False, _
DisplayAsIcon:=False
I have been trying to find the VB equivalent, but I cannot figure it out. I
will try your method described in your document. Thanks so much for your
help.
